Nangong Xue sneered and said, "Is that so? That's really a pity. I've never thought that I could use my internal energy on the edge of the plate to transfer it to the bottom of the plate and absorb everything on the surface. Or when I clinked my cup with someone, I could transfer my internal energy through the cup and concentrate it at one point to drill a hole and let the wine flow down. At the same time, I could use the fear in his heart to grab the wine cup with all my strength and make the cup explode. Or I could use the skill of flicking my fingers to send pepper into his nostrils. Before he sneezes, I could seal all the active acupoints in his body and trap the Qi in his dantian in his body. After a long time, he would fall unconscious. Or … "
He went on and on about twenty different methods before concluding, "If I could do all of these, then I'd be considered a master of martial arts. In that case, there would be no point in us competing. I'd rather stick to some boring tricks than exchange pointers with an expert like you. Using good internal energy to play tricks on a mediocre person is ridiculous! "
Xuan Shuang's expression immediately changed. He wasn't the only one at the table. Even Manor Head Ping and Ping Ruoyu were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
They had all seen with their own eyes that Xuan Shuang's movements were not only as fast as lightning, they were also very well hidden. Even if they stared at his hands without blinking, he could often catch them off guard and catch them off guard. No one could see the secret behind it. However, although Nangong Xue seemed to be careless, he was actually able to uncover the entire mystery. If he could see through it, then it wouldn't be difficult for him to break it.
Everyone's gaze fell on him. If it was said that he was lucky in the previous duel, then this was his true martial arts without any concealment. Jiang Liechen's gaze was deep in thought. He praised in a low voice, "Good eyesight! You're really good at hiding things. "Nangong Xue's heart trembled. He suddenly regretted his impatience and caused another commotion.
That night, everyone slept peacefully. There were many rooms in Ping Family Manor. Many of the experts had their own rooms. The newly surrendered children of the aristocratic families were squeezed into one room. Nangong Xue received special treatment and was also given a single room.
The steps of the courtyard were silent. Gazing at the starry night sky, the moonlight was clear and bright, as if it was also cold and desolate. From beginning to end, he did not have the heart to sleep. Thinking about this path of no return, once he stepped on it, he would have one foot in the coffin.
Today's limelight was already enough. If this were to happen a few more times, it would no longer be limelight, but destruction. She sighed softly and wrapped her arms around her knees. The night wind still lingered in her ears for a long time. Just as he was about to forget everything around him, he suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the door behind him.
Nangong Xue was slightly startled. She had already taken off her makeup, and her long hair, soft as a waterfall, was draped over her shoulders. It would be too late to tie it up again. At first, she was extremely unwilling to open the door, but the sound kept ringing, as if as long as she didn't open it, it would continue to knock endlessly. He was afraid that if the others were disturbed, it would be even harder to clean up the mess. She had no choice but to stand up unwillingly. With half of her body hidden in the shadows, she slowly opened the door a crack.
The person who came was Shangguan Yaohua. As soon as she opened the door, he immediately dashed in, his movements unprecedentedly swift. Although Nangong Xue did not know the purpose of his visit, compared to the enemies outside, she felt much more at ease.
Without waiting for her to open her mouth, Shangguan Yaohua said, "Brother Mu, it has been many years since we last met, the passage of time and the passage of time. I didn't expect that we would meet again here, it must be fate. Tomorrow's departure is imminent, I want to reminisce about old times with Brother. Won't you give me face? "At the same time he held up a piece of paper, on which were written the words' Walls Have Ears' in block letters. He clearly knew that they should not talk, but he still insisted on talking. It was clear how anxious he was!
Nangong Xue thought that they might not be able to meet again in the future, so she could not bear to refuse. Following his words, she forced a smile and said, "Not at all, Brother Shangguan is too polite! Please come in. " As she said that, she leaned to the side and waited for him to enter before she immediately closed the door. She felt like a thief, her heart was beating wildly.
She was just about to open her mouth when Shangguan Yaohua suddenly handed her a brush dipped in ink and a piece of white paper. In a loud voice he sang a monologue, "In the past, us two brothers' family circumstances were more or less the same. I'm afraid it's only now that we can see the real difference between us. Brother Mu, I wonder where you've made your fortune all these years? "
Nangong Xue took the piece of white paper and saw a line of words written on the top. She read it silently in her heart and saw that it read, "I have some questions for you. If you don't answer these questions before tomorrow, you will definitely die. Please cooperate with me. Let's talk on the paper. "She was a bit surprised, so she raised her head to look at him. Seeing his sincere expression, she raised her hand to look at the paper with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
Nangong Xue's heart softened. Following his words, she said, "Brother Shangguan is really mocking Little Brother. If I could make a proper living, I wouldn't need to enter this line of business. After we parted, my family suddenly fell into decline. Father had no choice but to pawn several calligraphy and paintings that he had collected to barely make ends meet. How could it compare to your successive fortuitous encounters? Not only did you become the second-in-command of the Qingtian Village, you also had a meteoric rise and became the Young Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty. That was truly awe-inspiring. Little Brother is endlessly envious. "
After thinking for a while, she finally wrote down what she was most concerned about on the paper, "How did you escape from your prison cell and even become their guest of honor?"
Shangguan Yaohua's face was bitter as he replied, "That's right. That Noble Consort Yun fought for her rights and interests. Although she ruined my family, in the end it was a blessing in disguise for me. I'm afraid nobody could have imagined that. Speaking of which, shouldn't I thank her? The gratitude and grudges of the people of this world are truly unexpected. "
At the same time, he wrote on the paper, "I don't know what's wrong with the Seven Demons' brain. He actually ordered Manor Head Ping and the others to let me go. He also said that from now on I'll be treated the same as him and Xuan Shuang. But he's always been this strange to me. On the other hand, what did they say to you that day? Why did you dress up like this and become his subordinate? "
Nangong Xue listened to his reply. It wasn't just an act, it seemed to carry another layer of sorrow. She said, "The Young Prince is at home every day, approving official documents and enjoying a life of leisure. That's enough. How dare you say he's not happy? With your qualifications, it's a pity you didn't come with us to propose marriage. Otherwise, that Eldest Miss Ping would have been easily won over by you. "
He replied, "It's a long story. It's a deal between Manor Head Ping and me. He wanted me to infiltrate the group of people seeking marriage and wait for an opportunity to join them. That way, I could pass the information to Ping Manor. He then promised me that he wouldn't make things difficult for Shixiong and also wouldn't force him to give up his position. I also … had no other choice. "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "I don't care. That Eldest Miss Ping is indeed beautiful, but in my eyes, she lacks a certain charm. She can't compare to my other friend. Although she already has someone in her heart and almost became his wife, perhaps she won't leave a corner of her heart for me in this lifetime. But to be able to silently watch over her and see her live well, to me, is happiness. If I can't have her, I won't marry for the rest of my life. "
The paper said, "Are you crazy? The Seven Evil Spirits are very astute people. Although he didn't say it out loud, he knew everything in his heart. For the sake of your Shixiong, a half-hearted man who doesn't even have you in his heart, you're willing to throw your life away? "
Nangong Xue's heart trembled. She was very clear that the "friend" that Shangguan Yaohua mentioned was undoubtedly her. She thought, "Yao Hua, I'm just an ordinary woman. What have I done to deserve your undeserved love?" She replied, "Perhaps she's aware of your love. Perhaps she … also has feelings for you. It's just that due to the circumstances, I can't respond. You've always been the most free and easy. There are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you have to fall in love with a single flower? Moreover, it's a flower that's about to wither. "
Her wrist trembled slightly and her handwriting was slightly messy. She wrote, "I have no other choice. I can't watch Shixiong die, even if I have to sacrifice myself. Even if there's only a one in a million chance, I'll do my best to fill in the rest of the blanks. "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "What a joke! Ever since Xiang Xiang died, I've been disheartened. I don't want to talk about love anymore. But ever since she appeared, my barren heart came back to life. I started to crave for the nourishment of rain … Forget it. You're a careless man after all. You'll never understand what I'm saying to you! "
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. His voice rose sharply. The paper said, "I'm afraid that even if you fill in the blanks for the rest of your life, you won't be able to fill in the blanks. You stupid woman, why do you have to wrong yourself like this? You shed blood and tears for him behind his back, just to let him lie in another woman's arms? " He was so agitated that his pen drew a long line. "Snap!" Even the pen broke.
Nangong Xue suddenly stood up. Without any warning, she suddenly leaned forward and threw herself into Shangguan Yaohua's arms. She gently hugged him. Shangguan Yaohua's back stiffened. He thought, "Why do you have to do this? You don't have to tempt me like this. Instead of giving me hope that will turn into nothing in the blink of an eye, it's better to have no hope at all. "He raised his hand, wanting to push her away. But at the last moment, he couldn't bear to let her go.
Nangong Xue's lips lightly touched his ear. She said in a low voice, "Tomorrow, I'm leaving. In the future, I might not have the chance to come back. This is my last night. I hope I can leave behind some good memories. I want to remember how you treated me gently … I beg you, don't be so fierce to me, okay? I'll be afraid. I'll lose the courage to move forward. What I'm most afraid of is that I'll lose the direction to pursue … "
She sighed and whispered, "If I'm not here, can you please take care of Shixiong for me? He's really … someone who really needs someone to care for him. In my eyes, he's not an indomitable hero. He's just a child who hasn't grown up. Whether it's cold or warm, he doesn't know how to pay attention … He's very diligent. If there's no one to take care of him, he'll practice the same movement all day and all night. He won't stop until he's exhausted. He's that kind of person. He's serious and silly, but he's also cute and silly … "
Shangguan Yaohua heard this and wanted to shout, "I don't agree! I don't agree! In your eyes, he's someone who deserves to be protected. What about me? In your heart, what am I? You're hurting my heart, but you want me to take care of your husband? Don't even think about it! "
Nangong Xue gently pressed a finger on his lips and said, "Maybe he won't be able to adapt to life without me in a short period of time. Please help him. Help him walk out of this haze and get to know himself again … I once promised him that I'll be by his side for the rest of his life. Maybe I won't be able to do it. This is the first time I've broken my promise to him, and it'll also be the last time. If he's willing to marry Miss Ping, then let him. His world is too vast. I don't want to be his entire world. As long as there's that kind of … everlasting little corner that can belong to me, that only belongs to me … I'll be satisfied. After I leave, you have to pay attention to Manor Head Ping. Shixiong can't hand over the position of the Wulin Alliance Head. He definitely can't. That's everything he loves. If I can't help him get it, at least I have to help him protect it, so that he'll never lose it … "
Nangong Xue's tears rolled down, wetting his shoulders and clothes. Her tears seemed to have a temperature. Sometimes they were like a piece of burning iron. Sometimes they were like ice that hadn't melted in a thousand years. Sometimes they were hot, sometimes they were cold.
